so hard to find a job

Lavshuca

I've been looking for a full time entry level job for 2 months.........I've sent so much resume out..and still no luck.  Was it that hard for you guyz to look for a job when you graduated from University with ZERO experience.
or is it because I have a fine arts degree and not business related degree.....-_-.  sigh..

To be honest, an art degree is too general. How is this degree better than the more specialized degrees?

Also, no experience is a turn-off for employers. They don't want to devote more resource in training especially the economy is getting weak right now. Look at the US and CAN stock market today.

No kidding.... My company was always understaff (even now) but they decide to go on hiring freeze...

it's just we are somehow entering a economic slowdown now...

with fine arts degree if you tell them you have office experience that would be nice.

oh man... I am amazed by their efficiency sometimes.....

I applied for a government job Nov 2007.  A month ago they called me to do a screening test, which took place last week.

No doubt though, give it a try!

And be hopeful cuz it does take that long!

我發現近年既香港學生分兩類﹐一係就過份實際﹐興讀D咩就讀咩﹐唔岩讀都照讀 - 易運工呀嘛﹗

另一類就好似開topic呢位朋友仔﹐唔好怪我直言﹐你讀完大學都有21-22歲﹐唔通你真係畢業第一日先諗做乜工﹖

我絕對唔反對(基本上支持)任何人讀自己鍾意讀既野。但需知﹐你讀fine arts並唔係一個普遍社會會用到既一個謀生技能。當然﹐你可以好叻﹐做到一D廣告製作工司creative類工作﹐但係你就預左行頭係窄。

或姐我再直接D講﹐你讀咩都好﹐喺現今社會都無可能完全只靠一樣才能/知識。畢業前連part-time做receptionist/tutor/其他summer job經驗都無﹐確實係令人費解。

不過﹐講到尾﹐萬事起頭難。難保讀其他科既畢業生都係有同樣遭遇﹐又唔好太妄自非薄。

細路女﹐得閒學多兩樣野﹐讀多D書﹐真係人生唔知幾時會用到。
